Ahhhh! The last of my 4th of July cards, and I decided to go for something a little more muted than the ones I've been making. This set is a new release from Papertrey Ink -- their stamps are so elegant that they almost demand attention. I still don't have any nesting stars, so I stuck some generic star stickers onto the reverse side of my cardstock and cut out the shapes. For the tiny star background squares, I punched the stars out with an EK Success punch. Then, for a final touch, I decided to try out more faux stitching. Happy Fourth!BEAN NOTES:Papertrey InkVintage Picnic Stamps;Memento Tuxedo Rich Cocoa Ink; Stampin' Up Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, and Ballet Blue Cardstock; SU Stampin' Write Markers (Creamy Caramel, Barely Banana, Ballet Blue, Ruby Red); EK Success Sun & Moon Punch; Star Stickers (generic); Nestabilities Classic Square Dies; Big Shot; Foam Dimensional Squares (generic)HAPPY BEANS: Paper Piercer
